TaleSpin

TaleSpin is a 1991 video game published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is based on the Disney animated series with the same name. TaleSpin was also released by Capcom on the Game Boy. Sega released its own versions of TaleSpin on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Game Gear. NEC also made one for their TurboGrafx-16 system.

This game involves the adventures of Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker, two bears delivering cargo for Rebecca Cunningham, another bear. However, Shere Khan, the evil tiger tycoon, wants to put Rebecca out of business, so he hires air pirates, led by Don Karnage, to do his dirty work.

In the NES and Game Boy games, Baloo has to deliver his cargo across the world while fighting the pirates who are trying to stop him. Players control Baloo in his plane, the Seaduck, except upon entry to a bonus level, where the player then controls Kit on his airfoil.

In the Sega game, Baloo and Kit face up against Shere Khan's company in a contest to earn a lifetime work contract from the city of Cape Suzette. This is a platformer for up to two players.

In the TurboGrafx game, Louie tells Baloo of an ancient artifact, the pieces of which are scattered across the road. This is also a platformer, albeit for one player. There is also a bonus level where players control the plane pulling Kit behind him.

The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version of the game is a platform game for up to two players, playing as either Baloo or Kit. The aim of each level is to collect at least 10 cargo boxes in order to open the exit.
